C1 Chiropractic is a small chiropractic practice based at Ardmore Airport, at 470 Corsair Lane in Ardmore, Papakura. It began in a hangar at the airport, and the practice serves Takanini, Papakura and the wider area. Its chiropractor has more than 15 years of experience, and also works as a flight instructor. The first visit is a comprehensive spinal examination, which may include orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic assessment, and x-rays if needed. The findings are then explained together, with a plan built around what the patient wants, whether that is short-term pain relief or longer-term spinal function. Adjustments are described as specific and gentle, and progress is reviewed along the way. Phone 09 243 0789. The website says the chiropractor is often at the airport outside clinic hours, so calls outside those hours are returned by the end of the day.
